Abandoned Hotel Belvedere was an iconic Swiss hotel on the edge of the
Rhone Glacier. It was built in 1882 by young hotelier Josef Seiler in
one of the hairpin bends of the Furka Pass, one of the snowiest
regions in Switzerland. The panoramic location attracted a pampered
clientele who sometimes stayed for weeks during the summers.

The hotel industry in Switzerland boomed at the turn of the 20th
century, and Hotel Belvedere's popularity increased with the opening
of new railway lines. However, from the 1960s, the number of guests at
the hotel and other Alpine hotels decreased due to faster and more
powerful cars. The once two- or three-day trip through the pass became
a one-day round trip, and guests no longer stayed overnight.

The hotel closed a couple of years ago and will likely never reopen.
